So adding all [3] links together yields a usb gentoo image |
| 26 |
that can have additional codes installed on the usb (via persistence) |
| 27 |
and saved out as a portable "demo" gentoo workstation? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If these 3 links are not sufficient for that, then what is missing? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If so, we now have a great/easy recruiting tool for (new) folks to |
| 33 |
test out gentoo. Another questions is has anyone seen reliable/valid |
| 34 |
benchmarks on usb sticks to see which is faster? Is usb3 the fastest |
| 35 |
and they are all the same? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
If a workstation has abundant ram, does it make sense to boost |
| 39 |
performance via an additional "ram_drive" ; if so how would one |
| 40 |
go about adding that feature? Bad idea? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |

| 43 |
curiously, |
